Rating: 1/5very sensitive

Cons: breaks very easily. onece you put something in one of the usb slots keep it there. taking it out is difficult and breaks away from the frame. shipping it back cost almost as much as the product itself.

Rating: 1/5Not worth it!

Cons: THEY DONT' LAST! We bought 2, the first one stop functioning 4 months ago for no reason. But we though maybe we miss placed it and something was putting weight on it. But now the other one broke. We never traveled with it, we never put weight on it (except the computer)...it just failed!

Other Thoughts: The USB ports are still working even if the fans aren't... so if you need extra USB port but don't care about cooling you laptop... go for it. I won't buy this anymore!Sorry for the bad english

Rating: 2/5Poorly made device.

Cons: Swivel base was to shoddy and wobbled badly, removed it with a screwdriver. USB Hub is 98% non-functional. The main reason I chose this model was for the internal hub, but I cannot use it. The hub only acts as a USB 1.0 even when plugged into a USB 2.0 slot. Devices constantly enable/disable/enable/disable. I just stopped using it altogether. I would NOT purchase this if you are planning on moving it around nor on your lap, it just won't work.

Other Thoughts: After removing the swivel base, not using the USB hub, it works as a cheap plastic stand for my laptop.

Rating: 1/5Not worth the price

Cons: 1. It scratched my desk to hell. 2. the fans were so loud people couldn't understand me via vent and teamspeak. 3. one day the fans but uped and quit. 4. something is wrong with the wiring now because it shorts out my laptop if I plug it in.

Other Thoughts: Don't buy this product, it is not worth the money. Flushing 20 bucks down the toliet is worth more then this thing.

Rating: 3/5Decent

Pros: Works as advertised. 360 swivel is nice for desks and tables, and is removable if you don't want it. Folds fairly flat for packing. The fans are ok for the price, nothing special. Kept my laptop cool under load, and still works (unfortunately no longer does).

Cons: If you use your laptop as the name implies (i.e. on your lap) the usb connector port tends to get bent out of shape due to it's position. Also the lip on the front of the cooling pad can be a problem if your laptop has audio ports/card reader on the front (mine did). The fans are not particularly quiet, and the usb ports are not very accessible. Not very comfortable for lap top use.

Other Thoughts: Will work with 17" laptops, but the balance is a bit precarious. Construction is fairly sturdy for plastic. Not too bad for the price, but I will try another model next time.

Rating: 4/5

Pros: This cooler fit the bill. It provides good airflow to assist in cooling my laptop. It has 3 features that are really great. First, the cooler has an adjustable stand in order to tilt your laptop as it sits on the stand and fans. You could lay the laptop down flat or adjust on angle. The ability to adjust on angle provides 2 advantages. First, it allows more air to get under the laptop. Second, an angled orientation helps when typing as it takes some stress off the wrists. Another great feature is that the cooling stand swivels. This is really convienent when maneuvering the laptop around to plug items into the laptop. Finally, the cooler comes as a 4 port USB hub. Now I can plug in all my peripherals without any problem.

Cons: The cooling fans are a bit on the loud side-- not much mind you, but just enough to know they are there. Also, depending on how it is used and the laptop one has, there is the potential for the cooler to hide some key components on the front edge of your laptop. Additionally, the quality seems to be a bit fimsy, but hey it works now. I can worry about tomorro another day. Finally, it is a bit smallish for my 17 inch laptop. Personally, that works for me, but some may find this to be a drawback.

Rating: 5/5Nice Cooler

Pros: The cooler keeps my laptop cooler, pretty much anywhere from 2 to 10 degrees celsius cooler. It has 4 ports, which are awesome since I am running all my equipment wireless through the ports.

Cons: The spinner on the bottom is too loose. I wish there was a way to lock and unlock it. The fans are angled in such a way that my vent only sucks in minimal air... one of the fans aren't even being used.

Other Thoughts: If my laptop is idling or running undemanding programs, the cooler is only slightly noticeable. However, at higher demands, the cooler seems to be more efficient.

For low-end games my video cards drops for 63 celsius to 59-ish celsius. On higher end stuff, it can drop from 69-75 celsius to 60-62 celius.

I assume that the cooler was meant to stabilize a laptop at a certain degree. In my case, the video card always runs around 60 celsius. So if its below 60, than very little happens, whereas a lot will be happening when it reaches above 60.

Rating: 5/5Great Buy/Works Perfectly

Pros: Low price but good quality. Used as stationary platform for my 14 inch presario 906us notebook. Keeps it very cool. Seems sturdy and everything works including USB hub. The 60mm fans are quiet and look to be replacable since they are attached with screws and not glued in. Height of angle is very adjustable.

Cons: I wish there was a dial to vary speed of fans. Only on/off. Not a big dealsince they are quiet and only a constant low pitch hum in background.

Other Thoughts: Don't get fooled into spending more bucks. This is cheap and works fine.
